Are small amounts of fruit ok?

I feel i need to eat at least a little fruit for vit c.. Is 1 clementine and 1 green apple a day ok? Anyone else eat just a little fruit a day?

I think kiwi and pineapple are the top notch fruits to use, at least when you read information about candida, fodmap or other diets.

I have them on my diet and they are fine for me. But if I eat other fruits like oranges or bananas or whatnot I get a reaction almost directly..
Hope this will help

Personally, I don't restrict fruit. Then again, I have no reason to do so. I think you should always try to get vitamins/minerals from whole foods, rather than isolated supplements that are not the same as what's found in nature. But, again, it depends on your particular constitution and challenges. So, I would suggest trying a little fruit and not changing any other dietary components and see how you feel over the coming days. Keep a journal, if needed, as dietary recall is poor in most people. If you feel fine, try either a little more of the same fruit or perhaps a different fruit. Repeat the cycle. I suggest trying to become your own expert, as no one else really knows what your particular body needs.

I only eat small amounts of fruit in the summers but am restricted due to histamine issues. Apples, citrus fruits, watermelon are all out. Small amounts of blueberries, grapes or cantelope, i can handle

I tried to cut most of it for Candida and even more for histamine issues; but I still got Candida. So I have max 1 serving of low histamine fruit a day. I needed the fiber, and probably had TOO low blood sugar. The herxes and medication really control I feel, so I’m not too strict with fruit. You just have to go with how you feel. I wouldn’t be making a 5-fruit smoothie every morning.

I don't know where you live, but I don't often find pomegranates in my local grocery stores. I know I see them sometimes, but I never paid attention to what time(s) of the year they appear. However, I don't find them to be any more special that other fruits.

I try to eat my pomegranate every day as per Buhner's suggestion.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned the pomegranate yet. It's very important to Buhner. It's one of the basics in all of his protocols. Y'all don't eat the pomegranate?

EDIT: He says in the bart protocol to drink throughout the day.

But he doesn't mention it in the Mycoplasma core protocol.


I don't have the Lyme or babs book to check.

Yes I agree the pomegranate is way too expensive.
It shouldn't be more than a buck a piece.

And, I was buying organic Pom juice... $$$$$
